I like Cadbury and Cadbury products. Of course they make mistakes like any major corporation. Yes, they have dropped bars many of us, including me, loved - Fry's Five Centres, Wispa Gold and Mint in particular for me. With the first of those, I think they're missing a trick; 'what happened to Fry's Five Centres?' is the second most common question asked via Cadbury's website, so there is obviously still a market for it. But with regards to other favourites, if they became unprofitable, we can hardly castigate Cadbury for dropping them - they're not a charity. Commercial businesses exist to make money, pure and simple.Cadbury must be doing something right, or otherwise why aren't they looking up to Askews or Ashburys and wondering why they are coming second to them?
I love Cadbury - and I'm proud. I have of course in the interests of fairness created an anti-Cadbury thread too, so if you don't agree with me please feel free to go there and say so.

It's so long since I had any chocolate (sigh!) but I'm pretty sure I was quite partial to Cadbury's. Especially Crunchies and Twirls.
Me TOO!
I'm on rations.

No one makes fruit and nut like cadbury. I think it needs their "sour" aftertaste to make it. Most other chocolate is too creamy for my liking.
Hey, at least we agree on one thing! 
Cadbury make the best fruit and nut going. I love Galaxy chocolate, but their fruit and nut bar is very much second best.

Nothing can beat Cadbury's fruit and nut. I also love their Caramel bar and biscuit CDM. The problem with Cadbury's are that they don't experiment enough. It's ironic that Cadbury's make better chocolate and don't experiment, but Nestle make inferior chocolate and experiment. I suppose each company needs a selling point though.
I think Nestle Double chocolate is the best cheap bar on the market, or was.

I find Galaxy chocolate a bit waxy
I agree. It used to be my fave bar but now I find it boring, waxy and sickly. Still I like Minstrels which use Galaxy choc.
